Twitter has announced that it will be removing its live video archive “soon” as part of its cost-cutting measures. Twitter users who want to keep their Periscope or Twitter Live recordings are advised to download them before they are removed. There is no mention of audio recordings of live Spaces yet, but it is possible that they may also be removed. Twitter has been enabling users to save their live broadcasts since 2016, but now, as part of its renegotiated deal with AWS, the option is being removed. Despite staff cuts, office closures, and garage sales, Twitter is still struggling to make money. New reports suggest that the company will be lucky to break even in 2023. While Musk’s push for free speech on Twitter has been unpopular with advertisers, he hopes to attract over a billion users in the future.
